TABLE II.
Unit activity in medullary reticular formation. Nineteen units were observed during both phasic activation and quiescence. A total of 49 were observed in quiescence. First column presents data from all units observed in quiescent state. Second column presents data for quiescent state for units recorded during both quiescent and activated state. Third column presents data from activated state.
